"Mine, mine! I moved out of the studio with the girls this afternoon and completely forgot about such an important matter!"
Eden: "Oh? You're changing your studio location?"
Mo Li: "Yeah, I can't talk about it now. I need to get the announcement out quickly."
"By the way, if Miss Eden has time, you're welcome to visit our studio."
"Okay~ Send me an address. I'll come to your studio in a few days and we can discuss my character modeling."
Hearing Eden's words, Mo Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, Miss Eden. I've already completed the character models for you and Elysia. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Chapter 54: Himeko is going to stream Honkai Impact 3rd?
Actually, even if Mo Li hadn't posted the announcement, players already knew that tomorrow was the day Honkai Impact 3rd would update its Chapter 14 story.
Players had been eagerly anticipating this for a whole day.
When Mo Li threw out the announcement, the comment section immediately exploded.
It wasn't the update itself that shocked the players.
It was... the announcement that tomorrow, Himeko would use her Douyin account to stream Honkai Impact 3rd with Kiana!
And it would be a face-reveal stream!
This news not only shocked the players but even made Eden a little excited.
Elysia had originally planned to continue streaming with Eden tomorrow.
On one hand, she found it fun, and on the other, she wanted to help Honkai Impact 3rd gain more popularity.
But after seeing Mo Li's announcement, Elysia immediately abandoned her own streaming plans.
At the same time, Tencent also noticed the announcement Mo Li had posted.
Zhao Wenbo was also intensely curious about Himeko's stream tomorrow.
He snorted somewhat unconvincedly, "I want to see how similar the real-life Himeko is to the Himeko in the game."
Thinking this, he glanced at Yu Weiwei behind him and compared her to the model of "War Goddess Yu Weiwei" in Maiden Voyage.
"Hmm... not bad. I don't think it will be any worse than MiHoYo's fidelity."
That night became a sleepless night for many players.
The next morning, while Mo Li was still deep in sleep, a violent knocking sound rang out.
"Bang bang bang~~"
"Boss, wake up quickly!!"
Kiana's lively voice echoed from outside the door.
Mo Li helplessly rolled over and got out of bed.
After getting dressed, Mo Li yawned and pulled open the door.
Seeing the energetic Hu Tao and Kiana outside, Mo Li chuckled and shook his head, "Young people, you have so much energy."
"Hmph~ As if the boss isn't old..."
"You're not even as old as Aunt Hime... Sister Himeko..."
Just then, the door next to Mo Li's also slowly opened.
Himeko's slightly languid voice drifted out, "Kiana, you were about to call me Aunt Himeko, weren't you!"
"Huh? N-no..." Kiana was flustered and also felt a bit lucky.
It was fortunate she was quick-witted enough to stop herself from saying "Auntie."
"Oh? So you're saying I'm old?"
"No, no~ Oh, Sister Himeko, aren't you nervous? You're going to stream Honkai Impact 3rd in front of so many people today."
Hearing this, Himeko also looked at Mo Li with a hint of resentment.
"Boss... can we not stream?"
Although she knew Mo Li was doing it for her own good, so she wouldn't seem too mysterious to the players, streaming was still quite embarrassing.
"Just this once... After all, the announcement has already been made. If you really don't want to stream in the future, you can post some videos on Douyin."
"What should I post?"
"Anything. Your daily work, or some jokes are fine~ The main thing is to make you seem less mysterious and change your image in the players' minds from being sacred and high-class."
"The content itself doesn't matter."
Himeko nodded gently, "Understood... But... I'm still a bit nervous, I'm afraid I'll mess it up."
Seeing Himeko actually acting so shy, Kiana was incredibly surprised. "What~ So Sister Himeko gets nervous too… Hehe~"
After speaking, Kiana secretly complained: Damn Boss Mo Li, you made me get so used to calling her Aunt Himeko…
Himeko shot Kiana a glare. "It's a livestream in front of hundreds of thousands of people… Anyone would get nervous, okay?"
"Probably more than that…" Mo Li took out his phone and glanced at it. "After yesterday's announcement, your Douyin account has reached over 8 million followers…"
Himeko: "…"
Kiana: "…"
"Oh no~ I'm so nervous, Boss, can you think of a way to help me calm down?"
Mo Li smiled and patted Kiana's head. "Don't panic. At worst, I'll have the girls from the studio cheer you on from the side."
"What~ That'll just make us even more nervous, you know…"
Just then, Bronya, who lived across from Himeko, also woke up.
She was wearing pajamas, her slender figure curvaceous, with a blank expression on her face. In her unique, monotone voice, she commented:
"It's just a livestream, what's there to be nervous about…"
"Bronya? You're up so early?" Himeko seemed a bit surprised to see Bronya.
She remembered that Bronya had been busy until very late last night.
Something about… needing to check everything thoroughly to ensure there were no issues after the update.
"Kiana's stupid voice is too loud," Bronya casually retorted, then turned towards the work area. "I'm going to check again…"
"Who are you calling stupid, you little shrimp…" But before Kiana could finish, she realized that this wasn't the game; the real Bronya was much taller than her.
Taller in every sense of the word…
As expected, Bronya silently turned around and glanced at the white-haired ball of fluff. "Me? Little shrimp?"
Kiana looked at the other's towering peaks, still unconvinced. "Damn it, I'm definitely going to develop better than you in the future."
Seeing the topic shift to something strange, Mo Li finally couldn't help but remind her, "Bronya, why don't you go wash up and get dressed first? As for the game update, I'll check it."
Seeing Mo Li's strange look, Bronya finally came to her senses.
She realized she was still wearing her light pajamas…
"Ahem…" She cleared her throat, feigning composure. "Well… I'll trouble you then, Boss."
After speaking, Bronya slightly quickened her pace and headed towards her room.
At the same time, she couldn't help but complain in her heart: Damn it, I have no defenses against this guy anymore…
"Hehe~" Hu Tao, who had watched the entire scene unfold, couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
Himeko also looked at Mo Li with great interest and teased, "Boss~ Is it good-looking?"
Chapter 55: Hu Tao in the Game, Himeko's Livestream is Finally Starting!
Himeko stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the wall, looking at Mo Li with a half-smile. "Boss~ Is it good-looking?"
Mo Li shrugged. "You can't blame me for this~ And I didn't see anything."
With that, he walked towards the work area.
Hu Tao, Kiana, and Himeko quickly followed.
To Mo Li's surprise, Ganyu was already up and busy with something at her post.
Seeing this, Mo Li curiously walked over.
Ganyu was a little surprised to see Mo Li arrive. "Bo-Boss, you're up so early today~"
"Can't be helped, Kiana woke me up," Mo Li said as he slowly walked to Ganyu's side.
"Is this… livestream equipment?"
Ganyu nodded timidly. "Sister Himeko is livestreaming this afternoon, so I thought I'd help set up the equipment and the background."
Mo Li chuckled and nodded. "Thanks for your hard work. But don't worry too much about the background; just find a cloth to hang up."
"It's not hard work," Ganyu shook her head. "Compared to the other sisters… I feel like I haven't helped much…"
"How could that be? You're the Secretary of Yuehai Pavilion~"
"Huh?" Ganyu's stunned expression upon hearing Mo Li's words was incredibly cute.
Before she could ask, Mo Li explained, "This is your character setting in the new game."
"New game… my setting?" Ganyu pondered for a moment before suddenly realizing:
"Boss, are you saying… you created a character in Genshin Impact based on me?"
"That's right, and it's a very powerful character! So… you should accept the red envelope I gave you with peace of mind."
Just then, the mischievous Hu Tao suddenly leaned in. "Boss Mo Li, what about me?"
Mo Li tilted his head to look at Hu Tao and smiled, ruffling her hair. "You're definitely not getting left out."
"So what's my role? Am I in Genshin Impact too?"
Mo Li nodded. "You? In Genshin Impact, you're the Head of a Hall. Even Liyue's Geo Archon is your subordinate."
"Wow!! That's amazing!" Hearing such a powerful setting, Hu Tao practically bounced up, hugging Mo Li's arm excitedly. "Thanks, Boss~ You're the best, Boss~"
"Head of a Hall~" Hu Tao murmured to herself, then seemed to recall something and looked up to ask, "What exactly is a Head of a Hall, Boss?"
"I'll keep that a secret for now~ But..." Mo Li took out his phone, opened the game Genshin Impact, and selected the character Hu Tao.
"Here~ This is your in-game appearance."
Hu Tao excitedly took the phone, her slender jade fingers swiping across the screen, admiring her in-game self from every angle.
"Wow~ It looks just like me! Exactly the same~"
Just then, the Hu Tao in the game suddenly made clawing motions with both hands, striking a pose as if to scare a little kid, and recited a limerick:
[Big Hilichurl is sick, second Hilichurl knocks, third Hilichurl brings medicine, fourth Hilichurl~ Oww~~]
"Waa waa waa!! Even the voice is exactly the same! Boss, did you voice her?"
Hu Tao was truly delighted; she absolutely loved this appearance.
In her excitement, she accidentally triggered her elemental burst.
[Full belly, full meal~ Have a good journey~]
The camera perspective shifted, and a cute ghost jumped out from Hu Tao's ring. Hu Tao grabbed the ghost's tail and swung it around forcefully.
Paired with the ultimate animation, it looked incredibly cool.
"Wow~~ So powerful!!"
At this moment, Himeko and Kiana also came over, curious.
